THE recent press dispatches report
ing Asiatic Cholera at Detroit, Mich,
calls to mind the epidemic of malig-
nant dysentery, called cholera, at
Center Point, Iowa, in 1879. With
in a few weeks over forty persons
died from it. The principal drug
gist of the town. Mr.. George b. Dun
bar, who is still in business there,
sold one hundred and eight fifty
cent bottles of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy, dur
ing the epidemic, and states that to
the best of his knowledge, it did not
fail in a single instance. The local
paper published there, said the same
and spoke of it in the highest terms.
The Remedy was used in fully 300
cases, and not to fail in a single in
stance, is certainly remarkable,
when so many died who were treat
ed by physicians, or used other
medicines. The scourge was un-
doubtedly stayed by Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhpa Rem
edy, and many lives saved. 1t is a
medicine that every family should
be provided with. Sold by !. S.
Taicott.

BURGLARY.-On lastSunday night
DIR. J. s. Talcott's Palace Drug
store was entered by burglars and
robbed of a case of gold pens valued
at fifty dollars and five or six dol
lars in silver. The burglars entered
the store through a back window
by prying it open with a chisel.
They were lucky enough to find the
outside door of the safe unlocked,
and the five or six dollars in change
lying in a drawer was easily secur-
ed. The safe contains a first class
burglar proof chest which they did
not tackle. If they had secured the
contents of this chest the burglary
would have been of a much more
serious nature than it is. 1t is evil
dent that they contemplated getting
into the burglar proof chest as they
took off the lock of the outside door
no doubt to find the combination
and get a clue to the combination
of the lock on the chest. No other
reason can be given for this work as
the outside door was open and it
was not necessary to tamper with
the lock. After the discovery OH
Monday morning, Sheriff Bovee and
deputy sheriff Hance Murphey took
hold of the case with a view of ferret
ing out the guilty parties. During
their hnut they discovered that
a party of horse traders had arrived
in the city on Sunday and remain
ed at John r. Woods livery stable
over night and left early Monday
morning. The chisel that was used
in prying open the window was
found in the livery stable, it fitting
exactly the indentation in the will
dow even to a small nick in the
chisel. Upon this clue alone,
a warrant was wor out and
Deputy Sheriff Murphey proceeded
to overhaul these horse traders.
He overlook them neal Akron,
searched them thoroughly but found
none Of the missing articles and con-
sebuently he let them 60 on their
way rejoicing. John R. Woods
house was entered and a valuable
silver watch taken, also DR.. w. j.
Conly's house was enterd during the
night but nothing was taken. The
officers have another clue which
they are following up, and may re-
suit in the capture Of the guilty
parties. 1t is safe to say that if a
burglar should attempt any tricks
in this city for the next week or two
he would meet with a pretty warm
reception, as everybody is on the
alert.

LATER.-This afternoon deputy

ST. Pierre arrived at the court house
from Nermillion having in charge
the veritable burglar who went
through the drug store and John r..
Woods residence. He is the per-
son mentioned above as being shad-
owed by the officers and it seems
that he is a professional burglar, as
a large amount Of stuff was found
i'll his possession besides Talcott's
gold pens and Woods watch. He
had two buck-skin bags, filed with
gold watches, jewelry etc. and he
had sl47.0O in money. His pre-

row perhaps. Our time and space
forbids any further particulars this
